A Music Thread

[Al B. Sure!]

The goal of music isn't to find obscure artists, it's to find good ones. Most of the time, obscure bands are obscure because they are crap.

Here, this is a song from a friend of mine's husband's band. You might actually like it, Cockney. Sounds like it would be up your alley:

You want obscure... he's some unsigned guys who I personally know... I went to middle school with two of these guys:

The first one was featured on MTV... was interviewed and performed on It's On with Alexa Chung. guess he's too pop!






And though my delivery and audio quality doesn't compare... Here's a song of my own:

Anyway, this is fairly obscure...

Foreign Exchange is a duo between Little Brother rapper/singer Phonte (also, known as Tigallo from Zo! and Tigallo and Percy Miracles) and Dutch producer Nicolay.





They do have music videos... You can call this pop or whatever but it's just plain good listenable music. The stuff certain people here post isn't even listenable! This is medicine to the ears. And you got to give credit to Phonte for being able to rap AND sing.



However, they were nominated for a Grammy with this song... so they're not all that obscure. Just corny pop I guess. Too bad they don't sell enough records to reflect that. It would be great if Phonte could make a reasonable amount of money for his talent.

i will say this, although i don't like the music that aahz posts, he is at least into it. he knows a lot about the little sub genre he loves and that's cool. i can respect that. albert on the other hand, says that he likes guitar bands like coldplay and maroon 5 and this love for bland, poppy ****e is translated into his hip-hop selections. even i've heard of almost all the hip-hop stuff he posts, and it's the genre i know least about (with the possible exception of metal).

That's because I post the singles and music videos

I can go obscure songs you wouldn't have heard if you didn't buy the album if you want. (although I can't really do that for my Motown/Atlantic/Philadelphia International, etc. selections because it's usually just singles that get posted on youtube because it's 40-60 year old music)
